discovery-to-inventory

Create a discovery baseline by capturing project scope and initial understanding, then map local vocabulary into glossary terms and persist decisions as inventory entries to prevent loss of context across brownfield projects.

Create a glossary by clarifying local vocabulary discovered during scope-interviews, then mapping those terms to reusable inventory entries that form a traceable baseline for future project reuse.

Document evidence and decisions by running a structured discovery-to-inventory workflow that enforces explicit inputs and validated gates, producing an inventory report and a traceable baseline for future reuse.

You can use this discovery workflow directly on vague ideas and unclear scopes without requiring a fully defined project upfront, as it captures initial understanding through a structured scope-interview process.

Avoid using a discovery-to-inventory workflow when your project already has a fully defined, validated scope, as the enforced gates and scope-interviews are designed to resolve ambiguity rather than document known certainties.
